II. Parameter Functions

The temperature may fall within the alarm range from

the beginning, such as when temperature control is

started. In such cases, an alarm is issued at first un-

der normal alarm operations. To avoid this, "with

hold" can be selected. Then, after the power is turned

on or the control is started, whether the temperature

is outside the alarm range is checked, and then alarm

detection is started.

Temperature measurement

An alarm is output with measurements (temperature signals) com-

pared with the value specified beforehand.

Various alarm operations can be selected according to applications.

(1) Absolute value alarmAn alarm is issued when the measurement reaches the alarm setvalue irrespective of the setting (SV) of the temperature regulator.

(2) Deviation alarmAn alarm is issued based on the deviation from the setting (SV)of the temperature regulator.

(3) Range alarmAn alarm is issued when the temperature is kept between alarmsettings.

Page 17: PX-series digital temperature controller Example of ... · PX-series digital temperature controller Example of Applications and Parameter Functions. Front panel dimensions Input signal

13

Once temperature measurement departs from

the alarm range, the alarm output is set to

OFF. To prevent this from occurring, the

alarm latch function holds the output to ON

even when the measurement does not fall

within the alarm range. After checking the

alarm, the operator can reset the alarm latch

using one of the following methods:

• Turning on the power of the temperature

regulator again

• Setting the alarm latch parameter to OFF

• Resetting the alarm latch on the alarm

latch reset screen

• Resetting the alarm latch using Di input

• Resetting the alarm latch using commu-

nication

Two-position control (ON-OFF control) can be used

to perform simple temperature control.

When the measurement is smaller than the SV setting

→ The output is set to ON.

When the measurement is larger than the SV setting

→ The output is set to OFF.

The heater is kept on until the set temperature is

reached. Once the setting is reached, the switch is turned

off. The switch is turned on again when the tempera-

ture decreases to a certain level.

Set the proportional band to 0.0 to use the two-posi-

tion control (ON-OFF control).

• Although two-position control (ON-OFF control) is convenient for

simple temperature control, the control results may fluctuate.

• To improve controllability and eliminate fluctuations, use PID con-

trol. Note that overshoot is generated when the temperature increases.

• Use fuzzy control to prevent overshoot.

To perform PID control for improving controllability, optimum PID

parameters should be selected. Auto tuning and self tuning func-

tions can be used to find the optimum PID parameters.

Features and notes on auto tuning

• PID parameters optimum to the process can be found.

• Since ON-OFF operation is performed while auto tuning is in

progress, the PV may fluctuate significantly depending on the pro-

cess. Do not use the auto tuning function for a process in which

significant PV fluctuations are not allowed.

• It may take several minutes to several hours to find the optimum

PID parameters (the time required depends on the process).

Features and notes on self tuning

• Specify self tuning, and PID parameters can be automatically found

during control.

• The result of control with PID parameters determined automati-

cally by self tuning is slightly worse than the result with PID pa-

rameters determined by auto tuning.

When manufacturing various products with only one machine, opti-

mum PID parameters may vary depending on the products to be

manufactured. In such cases, use the PID switching function. This

function allows you to use sets of PID parameters specified before-

hand, which can then be switched using the keys on the front panel

or using Di.

It's convenient in the following cases:

• Performing control with optimum parameters for each SV when

the machine is used with SV switched

• Performing control with optimum parameters for each product

when controllability varies depending on the item to be manufac-

tured

• Performing control with optimum parameters when characteris-

tics of the operation unit differ depending on the process to be

controlled, such as heating and cooling processes

In some cases such as incineration control, MV should not

be decreased to less than a certain level. Use ML (limit) of

MV limit in such cases to prevent MV from decreasing to

less than ML.

Solenoid valve

When solenoid valves are used, setting may be necessary to

disable reaction when the MV value becomes less than a cer-

tain level. Use MV limit MH and ML (scale off) in such cases.

You may not want to set the temperature exceeding a certain

level.

hIn such cases, you can use SV lower limiter setting and SV up-

per limiter setting to control the range in which SV can be set.

Although a temperature regulator has many parameters, relatively

few parameters are used in most actual applications.

hUse the display mask function to mask the parameters that are not to

be used.

Advantages

• Operation is easier because only those parameters to be changed

are displayed.

• Prevents parameters from being modified by mistake.

It's confusing because there are so many parameters.

It's easy because only the parameters we need are displayed.

When PV does not reach SV during ramp soak operation, the progress

of SV can be made to be on standby.

FurnaceMotor-operated valve

With position feedback

Advantage DisadvantageThe motor-operated valve requires a feedback resistor.→ Increased cost, and

troubles could occur due to a faulty feedback resistor

• Since the actual valve opening is read, a motor-operated valve with characteristic distortion does not pose major problems.The motor-operated valve requires a feedback resistor.

Without position feedback

Not suitable for motor-operated valves with significant valve characteristic distortion because the actual valve opening is not used for control calculation.

• The motor-operated valve does not require a feedback resistor.

→ Decreased cost, and troubles due to a faulty feedback resistor are avoided

• Lower opening frequency of the motor-operated valve

• Decreased cost of controller

A break of a sensor disables the function of the controller. ON (100%)

or OFF (0%) can be selected as the control output of the controller

in such cases.

Even when a temperature regulator is operating with a recorder at

the same place, the PV value displayed on each device may not co-

incide due to a sensor error, etc.

In such cases, the difference of PV values (measurements) can be

corrected.

Note: Control is performed with the PV value displayed (PV mea-

surement with PV shift value added).

More accurate results can be obtained more quickly if PID tuning is

performed while PV trend is checked.

Check the trend of measurement (PV), setting (SV), and the opera-

tion output (MV) on the "PID tuning status screen" of the loader to

facilitate PID setting.

The input specifications of the controllers used at various sites vary

greatly. Keep a universal input type controller to cope with emer-

gencies.

Type PXH is even more convenient because the output specifica-

tions can be switched between contact output and current output.
